Debating the nine year sentence for the Virginia spam convict

In this post, TalkLeft says that the nine years the spammer got in Loudoun County Circuit Court was too much. Techdirt seems to agree that more than a little jail time is probably too much. The Legal Reader apparently takes the opposite view in this post. Here also are the DailyKos post, with many comments, and a very informative post from Cyberethics, including a link to a 50-state survey of spam statutes.

I wonder what the Republican AG candidates have to say about this sentence.
